So I spent Friday evening in hospital in Stevenage having an injection in my eyeball

Ouch - hope it clears up

ty la. Most kind.

Lister Hospital? How long was the wait? They've had to shut A & E on a few occasions due being overrun with patients.

Well I went there first at about 2-ish and they sent me home to come back for an appointment at 6.30. So it wasn't too bad, but if I'd had to stay there, it would have been pretty shît.

Dunno LA - I reckon a potentially blindness inducing flare up lasting a week or so would be good drama for the board and might instil a little humility into the miserable old tosser

Well cancer didn't, so I doubt partial blindness would.

They are brilliant. I'd quite like a permanent supply. I assume they're cocaine-based?

I think they are. I did ask for some when I had an eye injury. Apparently prolonged use or overuse ****s up your conjunctiva

Would cancer of the eyes do it? Come to think of it, I've never heard of that happening. Clearly The Lord should have made us from the same material he used for the old mince pies.

Thank you, f. I suffered a fairly serious eye inflammation called uveitis, which I stupidly mistook for a bout of conjunctivitis. The injection was necessary because my cornea was stuck to my iris and my pupils couldn't dilate. Apparently, if left, it could have led to parmanent loss of vision.

Ouch!!!

Dare I ask how it felt to have a needle in your eye? :shudder:

Interestingly, what I did discover is that your average quack won't go near eyes. Don't understand 'em, see? I was referred from the GP to the high street ophthalmologist and thence to the specialist eye hospital.

A slight bit of pressure and nothing more, really. It's the idea of it that's a bit gross. The experience doesn't hurt at all. You are very keen to stay very, very still, though.
